India Affordable Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Chamber for 
Wound Healing centers, Plastic surgery & Burns Units

Diabetic foot ulcers and non-healing diabetic wounds India is home to the second highest number of people living with diabetes in the world, after China. Today there are over 45 million people grappling with the disease, and the numbers show no signs of reducing.

Amongst other health hazards, diabetes often leads to peripheral vascular disease, involving both the macro and micro circulation. Statistics reveal that 15% of all those living with the disease will develop foot problems related to diabetes, and may suffer from various deformities of the toes and feet, commonly called 'diabetic foot conditions'. These can develop from a combination of causes including neuropathy (nerve damage) and/or poor blood supply to the foot, which creates areas of raised pressures in the soles of the feet, where ulcers develop. These ulcers act as portals for the entry for bacteria leading to serious infections, which in the already immune compromised patients can result in amputations or even death.

Diabetic Neuropathy can cause insensitivity or a loss of ability to feel pain, heat, and cold. This makes matters worse for those suffering from neuropathy as they can develop minor cuts, scrapes, blisters, or pressure sores that they may not even be aware of. If left untreated, these minor injuries can lead to serious limb and life threatening infections. Extensive epidemiological surveys have indicated that between 40% and 70% of all lower extremity amputations are related to diabetes. This means that every 30 seconds a lower limb is lost to diabetes. In India, an estimated 50,000 amputations occur per year due to diabetes related foot problems. A vast majority (85%) of these diabetes-related amputations are preceded by foot ulcers.

Oxygen used under pressure or Hyperbaric Oxygen 
(HBO2can assist wound healing.
